ªLCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Ring

LCD monitor

•In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

•If the digital camera is extremely cold when you turn the power on, the image on the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 110,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Viewfinder

•Do not direct the viewfinder or lens to the sun. Internal components may be seriously damaged.

Lens ring

•Do not attach other conversion lenses on the lens ring; there is no mount to be used for the attachment.

•When you want to attach the tele conversion lens (DMW-LT52; optional) or wide conversion lens (DMW-LW52; optional), first of all, turn the lens ring counterclockwise. If the MC protector (DMW-LMC52; optional) is used, the lens ring can be mounted on the filter.

•If you push the zoom lever toward W during recording with the filter or conversion lens attached to the digital camera, 4 corners of the image may become dark (vignetting). For details, refer to the operating instructions of your accessories.

•Be sure to keep the lens ring attached to the digital camera so as to shut out unnecessary light.
